Outpatient hysteroscopy with endometrial sampling is well-tolerated and effective for diagnosing gynecological conditions like abnormal uterine bleeding. This minimally invasive procedure reduces hospital admissions and offers early detection of diseases such as endometrial cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Diagnostic Procedures

Background:

  • Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common gynecological complaint.
  • Diagnostic hysteroscopy is a valuable tool for evaluating the uterine cavity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate patient acceptance of outpatient diagnostic hysteroscopy with endometrial sampling under para-cervical block.
  • To assess the efficacy and safety of this minimally invasive diagnostic approach.

Main Methods:

  • 160 women underwent outpatient diagnostic hysteroscopy with endometrial sampling.
  • Procedures were performed under para-cervical block anesthesia.
  • Patient discomfort and procedure success rates were recorded.

Main Results:

  • The procedure was successful in 152 patients (95%).

  • Most women (95%) reported tolerable discomfort levels.
  • Six cases of endometrial carcinoma were detected.
  • No complications were reported.

    • Conclusions:

    • Outpatient hysteroscopy with endometrial sampling is a safe, well-tolerated, and effective diagnostic tool.
    • It significantly reduces the need for hospital admission for gynecological investigations.
    • The procedure facilitates early diagnosis of gynecological disorders, including endometrial cancer, at low cost.
